But most of Akbar's regulations which this officer is there directed to enforce were withdrawn after the Emperor's death; and the entire passage in the \*Ain\* also seems to me to point out only the ideal for a kotwāl and not to represent the actual state of things. Only a perfect man can satisfy what is demanded of the kotwal here. I, therefore, do not attach any value to this source. - [Previous: c8.s5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c8.s5.9) - [Next: c8.s5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c8.s5.11) - [Up: c8.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c8.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c8.s5.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c8.s5.10) · Pramāṇa
